Azamara

Azamara receives high marks from both cruisers and critics for its upscale cabins and trips to exotic locations. The line's three ships – Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, and Azamara Pursuit – sail to more than 300 ports in nearly 100 countries, with popular stops in South America, Europe, the Caribbean, Australia, and Asia. With Azamara's ship capacity limited to approximately 700 guests, it is simple to avoid crowds and locate crew members (each ship has approximately one staff member to every two passengers).

While docked in various ports, Azamara voyages offer shore excursions ranging in activity levels, such as museum visits and walking tours. For those who want to explore the local dining scene, the cruise line also provides restaurant recommendations. You can take advantage of each ship's onboard fitness center, lounges, and nightly musical and dance performances whether you choose the shortest four-night cruise or the longest 23-night voyage.

All three ships also have a variety of dining options, ranging from casual buffets to specialty restaurants like Aqualina and Prime C steakhouse. Azamara cruise fares include onboard enrichment programs such as culinary demonstrations, wine tastings, and lectures, in addition to beverages and meals in the main dining room, cafe, and buffet.
